With her satirical, highly staged photographs and videos, Margeaux Walter comments on the over-abundance of images that bombard us daily and explores their effect on our identities. “By using the visual cues of advertising, staged environments, studio lighting, and saturated imagery, my work functions as an alternative campaign for the psychological effects of modern life,” she writes. Her photographs are composed of an assortment of images and are produced using technology that lends them a 3-D effect. She plays all of the roles in her works, donning disguises and shooting herself in the midst of everyday scenes—a couple dining out, sunbathers on a rooftop, even a woman using the toilet—that have gone either subtly or dramatically awry. Often, Walter reveals how our technology and possessions threaten to overtake us, suggesting that we are consumed by our consumerist culture.
Born in New York City, David Reinfeld began his photographic career in the '60-s in New York City honing skills as a street photographer, taking pictures and protesting. Early in his career he documented the signs of our times, and taught photography at the Public Theatre to inner city children. This period was his “coming of age”; photography became his first love, and would last forever.
In the early 1970-s, Reinfeld received his MFA Photography at the Rhode Island School of Design; one of his teachers was Aaron Siskind. He taught David that photography was much more than the content we see. Influenced by the experimental nature of art during this period, Reinfeld looked for and created abstraction in his images. He photographed graffiti and decayed walls anywhere he could find them. With the emergence of digital photography and other tools, he discovered composite photography. Today Reinfeld continues to test abstraction in imagery. For him, art is not only an arrangement of form and content, but of awareness of visual impact and communication. David Reinfeld still lives and works in New York City, where he grew up embracing, supporting and working in the visual arts. He lives with his wife Debra, and daughter Maggie. His hobbies include skiing, biking and mountaineering. He is also a deep-rooted martial artist, practicing Aikido for over thirty-five years.
Brenda Biondo is a Colorado photographer who uses traditional camera techniques and a formalist aesthetic to explore the perception of high-altitude light and color and their role in the construct of landscape. Her work emphasizes the use of unconventional contexts to create new ways of looking at common subjects, while challenging viewers' perception of color and three-dimensional space. Her interest in atmospheric phenomena and other components of the natural world is built on a foundation of concern for environmental and conservation issues.
Brenda's work has been exhibited throughout the country and published in numerous print and online publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Denver Post and Lenscratch. Her photographs are held in numerous private and public collections, including those of the Library of Congress, the Museum of Photographic Arts, the Denver Art Museum, the Center for Creative Photography and the San Diego Museum of Art. A solo exhibit of her work opened at the San Diego Museum of Art in 2017.
Her first book of photographs, Once Upon a Playground, was published by the University Press of New England in 2014 and is now the subject of a five-year traveling exhibit organized by ExhibitsUSA. Her second book, American Ferret, focuses on endangered species and will be published in early 2021. A native New Yorker, she’s been a resident of Colorado since 1999, and currently lives in a small town near Pikes Peak where the light and landscape continue to inspire her work.
This exhibition was organized by Kinzelman Art Consulting in collaboration with Foto Relevance Gallery on behalf of M-M Properties.
